OVERALES.

- To allivhom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HAMILTONOAR HARTT, HAMILTON GARHARTT, Jr., and Oe- CAR E. KRATZ, citizens of the United States, residing at Detroit, Wayne county, and State of Michigan, have invented and discovered certain new'and useful Improvements in Overalls, of which the following is a specification. I

Our said invention consists in certain improvements in the details of construction and arrangement of parts of workmens whereby such a garment is provided of sisting qualities at points commonly under the greatest strain in use and where such garments most frequently rip or tear, or wear out, all as-will be hereinafter'more fully described ELIfCl claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof and on whichsimilar reference characters indicate simipair of overalls of our improved construction, Fig. 2 a rear elevation, Fig. 3 a de-.

tail rear elevation, showing the waist band and the adjusting strap, and also the facing and pocket constructions, on a larger scale, Fig. 4: a detail view of one side of the bib construction, Fig. 5 a detail inside view showing the construction at one of the side openings, and Fig. 6 a detail section on the dotted line 66 in Fig. '1.

In the main, .or general form, the overalls are cut substantially in'the us'ual manner. The bib 10 is bound around the edge by having its edge turned-in and a facing strip 11 attached thereto, said facing strip extending continuously from a point below the juncture of the seams at the side openings, as at point 12, on each side, around the edge of said bib. Said facing strip is secured, as indicated most clearly in Fig.

4, by a double row of stitchingformed by a continuous operation on a two-needle sewing machine. The waist band 13 acrossthe front of the overall extends from edge to edge and is stitched to the top, formin the juncture between the bib 10 and-the ront portion of the overalls, before the facing strip 11 is put on. -Said facing strip 11 passes over the outside of said band 13 at its ends and binds said ends securely to the Specification of Iietters Patent.

gohds, making a smooth and continuous binding at points 40. Buttonholes 14 are formed at the ends of said bands 13 just at the inner edge of said facing strip 11. By this means the button-holes arestayed securely and prevented from giving under the strain, as will be seen. The front pockets 15,have their openings at the side top cor- 11ers of the ront part of the garment and extend down inside and are securpd at their outer edges under the facing strip 11 and also with double seam forming the juncture at point 12. The lower side button-holes 16 are formed through the goods comprising the pocket, as well as the goods comprising the front of the overalls, and these button-holes, as'well as the but;

inmssunn ton-holes 14, are thus likewise stayed and f strips at. the I 17 extends from edge as the goods of which the overalls are made.

' Said buttons 19 and 20 on the edges of the rear section of the overalls are adapted to engage with the button holeslet and 16, respectively, in the edges of the front section of the-overalls. The hip pocketsj21 are also secured at their outer edges by stitching which extends through the facing strips 18, thus affording a strong support for these edges at pointswhere they frequently tear and are subjected to the most strain.

As thefacing strips 11 on the side edges of the front section of the overalls extend to a point below the juncture, at point 12," at

the botto'm'of the side openings, and as the 1 facing strips 18 on the side edges of the rear section also extend below this point, and as the edge of the front pockets 15 are attached under-the facing strip 11 and also.extend to below the point,12,it will be seen that these side junctures are very securely reinforced' and strengthened and at the same time without any additional labor or ex- I bib 10 formed of two ed to be used with said buckle for tighten-f ing or adjusting said waist band. The re curely pense, inasmuch as the double row of stitching up the side seam etl continues to a point above said point 12 and passes through the several thicknesses of goods and with the extra staying cross stitches 42, at said point 12, effect a very secure construction adapted to withstand any ordinary strain and thus guard against ripping or tearing at this point, which is commonly one of the first to give way in this character of garment.

A multiple pocket 22 is mounted on the sections of goods 23 and 24 having a top opening at 25 leading into one pocket, a side opening 26 leading into another pocket, and a row of vertical stitches at 27 separating one side of the pocket into a pencil pocket 28 at the edge,

thus forming three pockets in of the front pockets 15 is also formed double with a small pocket opening as at 29. Another rear pocket 30 for carpenters rule, or like use, is provided, thus providing nine said bib. One

pockets for various uses,const1tuting receptacles for'various materials and tools used by the workmen.

A buckle 31 is mounted on the rear waist band 17 by means of a doubled strap 32 sesewed to said waist band, and a short distance on the other side of the center, in a like. manner, a strap 33 is attached adaptinforced sections 32 and 34 of the rear waist band, thus formed, are utilized for button supports for the rear suspender buttons 35,

thus affording an ample base or support for the buttons to be riveted to and enabling them to be secured in a very substantial manner.

*tions in the back at 37, are provided and atand attractively finished, as

Suspenders 36 with interlaced elastic sectached to the buttons 27 on as is usual.

- By this construction a garment of the character described is provided of exceptionally enduring wherein the edges and juncture points neatly well as rigidly and securely reinforced and stayed. These improvements are secured by the features of construction above described and without materially adding to i e expense of manufacture.

Having thus fully described our said invention what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
